Something about it ...this is not ordinary TV. In fact it provides a more cinematic experience than many 'cinema' films, with high production values, an emphasis on story line not cheap laughs or thrills, character development, and enigmatic red-herrings: all of which you would expect to find in a film but rarely get. This is simply an artistic work and questions about its political correctness, authenticity or message are redundant. Like all art it transcends such mundane considerations and is as enjoyable as a scrummy complex wine (and similarly addictive). If I have any criticism of it as a work of art I guess it does trade, to some extent, on a nostalgic view - or at least some kind of perceived connection with - both 'Americana' and with the period in which it is set, so in more ways than one: TV for grown-ups.
